  • Vanitas ( in a Petri dish), a series of digital photographs bringing the concept of vanitas into the 21st century. In prior centuries, vanitas paintings warned against the excesses of material culture. Expressing the futility of life and its
  • Biota -
    Biota is a porcelain sculptural installation employing the morphology of the sea sponge as a matrix. Arranged on low-standing Plexiglas platforms, the sculptures appear as if they were dead coral. In the sea, such exoskeleton frameworks signal the
  • Latent Figure Protocol takes the form of a media installation that uses DNA samples to create emergent representational images. The installation includes a live science experiment, the result of which is videotaped and repeated for the duration of
  • Nature? -
    "In “Nature?” I have created live butterflies where their wing patterns were modified for artistic purposes. Such changes were achieved by interfering with the normal development of the wing, inducing the development of a new pattern never seen
  • Nucleart -
    "During my residency at the laboratory of Dr. Ana Pombo at the Imperial College London, I have created artworks using DNA and chromosomes as an art medium. In “nucleArt” I have used DNA molecules coupled to fluorescent dyes to paint specifically
  • Functional Portraits -
    "Artists have been trying to represent in portraits not only the physical appearance of the subject, but also characteristics of the personality, by using the pose, elements in the composition, and even the choice of technique. Science has developed
  • Nuclear Family -

  • Tree of Knowledge -
    "The project Tree of Knowledge explores interactions between art and science by using novel cell imaging and tissue culture technologies in order to create live sculptures. When creating a sculpture, the choice of medium is critical as it directly
